They probably won't be able to afford any car like this for the rest of their lives. So what do they do instead ?? Whinging, of course ! I wouldn't dare to talk down such a beautiful car like this until I actually drive and review it myself !! 90% of Car Forum Reviewers are just bunch of Sour Grapers.

This year I have owned a porsche 911turbo and an Exige chrome orange S240 and currently a ferrari. Guess what guys! my next car will be the Europa a nicely balanced car for all club events with good looks and mechanical sanity that one can afford -and no I am not rolling in dough I'm a retired pensioner that prefers a flash car instead of owning a house and looking at four walls. With the money from one car I buy the next. The europa is a keeper for sane sensible people to enjoy at a fraction of the cost of other supercars, dont forget that major point and it has pedigree.

I think the 2.0 litre would suit the car better in power to weight than the V6 Aurion engine. How did you find out the entry and exit was good when wearing a dress? I hope you have the legs for it. The interior does look a little un finished but that’s not the nature of the car. Air conditioning switches look like an after thought and they don’t tie in with anything else. Great review Anthony.

I think I like it because it's so far removed from anything else on the market and it's probably the quirkiest thing you can get over $100,000. Brilliant car.

It's quite simple really, you just buy the Evora instead. Yes actually there is. It’s quite simple really, you just buy the Evora instead.

It has more power and lot more fun coming out of corner and full throttle and the back will step out. I haven't driven the Elise SC so can't really compare them. Anthony is the test car from Lotus at Kingscross. Think I saw it when I visited back in July. the Europa on far with Elise S in fun factor.

I read that this car hasn't sold very well and I think the reason is as i said before it is slightly confused in identity. People who want a usable everyday sports car would go with Cayman/Boxster, not Lotus. And people who wants a Sunday blast would prefer Elise or Exige, they are both lighter and without turbo charging will give better throttle response, and give a bigger thrill Perhaps i should clarify a bit, driving thrill is in comparison to a normal Elise or Exige.

Also Anthony, were you implying subtly that you were wearing a dress? Also I hate the rear of the original Europa: so unnecessarily boxy!
